Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Alcohol, my permanent accessory
Alcohol, a party time necessity
Alcohol, alternative to feeling like yourself
Oh, alcohol, I still drink to your health
[Verse 2]
I love you more
Than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
(Just one talk)
[Verse 3]
Forget the cafe latte, screw the raspberry iced tea
A Malibu and Coke for you, a G and T for me
Alcohol, your songs resolve my life never will
When someone else is picking up the bill
[Verse 4]
I love you more
Than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
Oh, alcohol, would you please forgive me?
For while I cannot love myself
I'll use something else
[Verse 5]
I thought that alcohol was just for those with nothing else to do
I thought that drinking just to get drunk was a waste of precious booze
But now I know that there's a time and there's a place where I can choose
To walk the fine line between self-control and self-abuse
[Verse 6]
I love you more
Than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
And would you please ignore
That you found me on the floor
Trying on your camisole?
Oh, alcohol, would you please forgive me?
For while I cannot love myself
I'll use something else
[Verse 7]
Would you please forgive me?
Would you please forgive me?
